Henry got me with child, / Knowing that I could not bring forth life / Without losing my own.
In my youth therefore I entered the portals of dust.
Traveler, it is believed in the village where I lived / That Henry loved me with a husband's love / But I proclaim from the dust / That he slew me to gratify his hatred.
